Lady Bobcats capture Sidney Federal Credit Union Softball Tournament title with back-to-back shutouts
SIDNEY – Bainbridge-Guilford’s pitchers Morgan Neidig and Kori Thronton each threw complete game shutouts for back-to-back wins as the Bobcats took the Sidney Federal Credit Union Softball Tournament Saturday.
Bainbridge-Guilford’s starting pitcher Morgan Neidig took to the circle first against Sherburne-Earlville in Saturday’s opening round of the tournament and allowed just two hits while ringing up 11 Marauder batters.
The two Chenango County teams were in a 0-0 tie until the Bobcats scored twice in the top of the third.
Opening the scoring frame was Neidig, hitting a ground ball double that dribbled through the game and into left field. Her teammate K Porter came on a courtesy runner and was advanced to third when Kori Thornton drilled a line drive single to center.
With Megan Palmatier at the plate, Porter tried to steal home but S-E’s catcher Tessa Cole set up to block the plate. The throw from Savannah Niles, Cole put the tag on Porter as she slid, attempting to break up the play. Cole was able to hold on for the out.
During the play, Thornton stole second to still leave Palmatier with a base runner in scoring position in her at-bat.
Palmatier sent the second pitch on a rocket line drive to center field, scoring Thornton while reaching third for the triple. Palmatier scored on an error before the Lady Marauders picked up the third and final out of the inning.
Adding two more runs in the fifth, Bainbridge-Guilford made it 4-0. They were able to add another two in the seventh, securing the 6-0 win and moving on to the finals.
Palmatier finished the first game of the double-header going 3-for-4 with a double also, accounting for two of B-G’s three extra-base hits.
Cole picked up both hits Neidig allowed in the game. She ended with two hits in her three trips to the plate in the first game.
Sidney and Harpursville matched up in the other first round game of the tournament.
In the top of the fifth, the two teams were tied at 3-3 when a Sidney batter grounded out but scored a teammate to take the lead by one run. The Lady Warriors held on to beat the Hornets and move on to the finals against B-G.
Thornton was called on to start in the circle in game two for the Bobcats and she didn’t disappoint, pitching a complete-game shutout and allowing just two hits like Neidig in game one.
Bainbridge-Guilford started the offense a little earlier in the second game by scoring one in the top of the first. In the third and fourth innings, the Bobcats tallied three in each to give themselves a 7-0 lead.
To make it 8-0, which turned out the be the final score, Porter scored on Davy’s ground out to the Sidney’s shortstop. Porter crossed the plate twice for B-G in the championship game.
The Bobcats finished with 10 hits as team, recording all against Sidney’s starter Olivia DeMott
In the consolation game, the Harpursville Hornets topped the Lady Marauders 8-1.
The Lady Hornets jumped out to an early 3-0 lead before tacking on five more runs in their final two innings of plate appearances.
Sherburne-Earlville scored one run in the top of the second when Anna Rinaldo scored on Brooke Hailston’s fly ball to right field.
Rinaldo went 2-for-3 at the plate to lead the Marauders in their second game.
Jillian Cannistra, Neidig and Thornton each received All-Tournament honors. Palmatier was awarded tournament MVP as she hit for a combined 4-for-7 in both games.
B-G is scheduled to host Walton on Monday at 4:30 p.m. while Sherburne-Earlville is supposed to host Frankfort-Schulyer at the same time. The wet weather may postpone both events as rain and snow are scheduled in the forecast.
